BRIAN: I know one thing that really helped me the first time around was to do a lot of
open houses. Look at a bunch of different houses; find what works for you, what kind
of price range that you're in.
BEN: Ask simple questions like do you know why the sellers are selling the property?
Do you know if there's any issues with the property? Are they looking to downsize? Or
are they looking to relocate? Ask about the school districts. You know ask a lot of questions.
It's okay. The more questions you ask, the better it is for you.
ADAM: The main thing is maybe not the aesthetics, but the things you don't think about like
the roof, the furnace. You know, asking questions about how old some of those things are or
how old the windows are, I think are important questions, because those are the things that
could be the big expenses down the road.
JOE: Make sure you look at the greater construction of the house and beyond the cosmetics, because
we had an awful peach home that we walked into; but we were able to see past that and
see the potential that house had. It eventually wound up being perfect for us, and we made
it our own once we moved in.
